Plastics processor RENOLIT is expanding in India and building a new plant in Pune, India, the company announced this week. The family-owned company plans to produce geomembranes for civil engineering projects in the Asia-Pacific market beginning in April 2026.
“India is now the most populous country on earth and, with growth of over 6%, the Indian economy is the fastest growing major economy in the world,” says Karsten Jänicke, CEO of RENOLIT. “With the new plant, we are sending a clear signal for our long-term growth strategy in Asia. The factory strengthens our market position and our ability to deliver in the extremely dynamic Indian market.”
The production facility for geomembranes is being built on a total area of 3,190 square meters in just 12 months. Around 30 employees will then be able to produce the first geomembranes using a design built extrusion process. The plant is designed for a production annual volume of 6,000 tons of geomembrane.
